The Ridings Medical Group are pleased to announce that they are working with NHS England to deliver Covid vaccinations to The Ridings Medical Group and Hessle Grange Medical Practice patients as part of a River & Wolds Primary Care Network joint service. The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) have ordered the priority based on those who are at the greatest risk:
1. residents in a care home for older adults and their carers
2. all those 80 years of age and over and frontline health and social care workers
3. all those 75 years of age and over
4. all those 70 years of age and over and clinically extremely vulnerable individuals
5. all those 65 years of age and over
6. all individuals aged 16 years to 64 years with underlying health conditions which put them at higher risk of serious disease and mortality (including registered carers)
7. all those 60 years of age and over
8. all those 55 years of age and over
9. all those 50 years of age and over
Patients will be contacted by the practice to book a vaccine in the order of eligibility. When it is the right time for you to receive the vaccine, you will receive an invitation to come forward. Please do not contact the practice to get an appointment until you are contacted. They are having to respond quickly to updated guidance from NHS England and JCVI and all staff are working extremely hard to roll out the vaccine service whilst maintaining normal services. They thank you for your continued support and patience.
